DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 illustrates an operating environment 100 such as may be representative of various embodiments in which techniques for serverless performance testing of applications are provided. The operating environment 100 can include a local computing device 102, a remote computing system 104, and a cloud platform 106.

The local computing device 102 can be any type of electronic computing device such as, for example, a desktop, a laptop, a tablet, a notebook, or a mobile device. The local computing device 102 can be operated by a user (not shown in FIG. 1 for simplicity).

The remote computing system 104 can be any type of computing device including a server or can represent a computer network, a cloud-based computing system, a database, or any other computer networking component, electronic computing device, and/or storage device.

The cloud platform 106 can be any type of cloud computing service, cloud management system, and/or cloud-based hardware and/or software infrastructure. The local computing device 102, the remote computing system 104, and the cloud platform 106 can be communicatively coupled such that any type of data or information can be shared among the local computing device 102, the remote computing system 104, and the cloud platform 106 over any type of communications network. Each of the local computing device 102, the remote computing system 104, and the cloud platform 106 may be communicatively coupled to any number of other local and/or remote devices, systems, or networks.

In various embodiments, a user or developer may desire to performance test code and/or an application executed by and/or provided by the remote computer system 104 (e.g., operating as a server). In many instances, performance testing of any code, software, or application (hereinafter collectively referred to as an application for simplicity without intent to be limiting) provided by the remote computing system 104 can be disruptive. For example, in many instances, performance testing of the application may require the remote computer system 104 to be offline, thereby not allowing the application to be provided to other users during the performance testing.

Techniques disclosed herein mitigate such disruptions by enabling serverless performance testing of the application. In various embodiments, the user of the local computing device 102 can conduct performance testing of any application (e.g., new and/or modified code for the application) using the cloud platform 106 (e.g., in a serverless computing framework) such that disruptions to the remote computing system 104 are minimized or do not occur as described further herein. The performance testing can be conducted through interaction with the local computing device 102.

In various embodiments, during and/or after conducting the performance testing, the local computing device 102 can provide results of the performance testing on a display 108 of the local computing device 102. The display 108 can provide any type of information or data related to the performance testing. The display 108 may provide the results as textual data or information 110 and/or as graphical data or information 112 as described further herein.

FIG. 2 illustrates an example of a logic flow 200 that may be representative of techniques for providing serverless performance testing of applications. For example, the logic flow 200 may be representative of operations that may be performed in various embodiments by one or more of the constituent components of the operating environment 100 depicted in FIG. 1.

At 202, a user (e.g., the user of the local computing device 102) can identify code for an application to be tested or evaluated.

At 204, one or more performance tests (e.g., test scripts) can be determined and/or generated. The performance tests can be determined based on one or more inputs from the user—for example, based on inputs from the user specifying or indicating a type of test to conduct, a duration of any test, and/or a number of users to simulate in association with the testing.

At 206, a performance testing execution file can be generated. The performance testing execution file can be generated based on the identified code and/or the determined performance tests.

At 208, based on the performance testing execution file, a number of performance test serverless functions can be determined and assigned for implementation. At 208, the performance test serverless functions can be triggered for test against the identified code and/or the application under test (AUT).

At 210, during and/or at the conclusion of testing, the performance test serverless functions can send one or more testing metrics (e.g., response time) and any data related thereto to a database or other storage device.

At 212, during (e.g., in real-time as the testing is conducted) and/or at the conclusion of the testing, one or more of the testing metrics and any data related thereto can be displayed on a testing dashboard (e.g., on a user interface provided by the local computing device 102 and/or the display 108). The testing dashboard and any metrics/data provided by the dashboard can be generated based on information stored at 210 (e.g., by querying the database storing the relevant information). In various embodiments, metrics and any data related thereto can be displayed in real-time on the display 108 by querying the database storing data related to the performance testing.

At 214, any results related to the performance testing can be transmitted for storage by a repository (e.g., any type of computer related storage device).

At 216, any of the results stored in the repository can be scanned and/or reviewed for analysis. In various embodiments, one or more machine learning algorithms, techniques, and/or applications can be used to review the results of the performance testing.

At 218, at least one performance test serverless function is triggered to evaluate any of the results of the performance testing to determine if the AUT passed or failed.

At 220, a notification can be transmitted to one or more individuals associated with the AUT—for example, developers who are desirous of testing code for the AUT (or a developer that initiated the logic flow 200). The notification can be automatically generated and transmitted based on completion of a performance test serverless function that is triggered to determine if the AUT passed or failed the performance testing and/or to determine the testing is completed. In various embodiments, the notification can be transmitted as an email to one or more individuals. As shown in FIG. 2, results of any machine learning analysis conducted at 216 may also be provided at 220.

In various embodiments, one or more of the performance test serverless functions can be implemented by the cloud platform 106. In various embodiments, one or more of the performance test serverless functions can be implemented without disrupting operation of the remote computing system 104 and/or without any testing being conducted on or by the remote computing system 104. In various embodiments, a user can initiate the testing through a web portal interface with the testing conducted on a scalable cloud computing resource.
